Homes listed in the first week of April get 14 percent more online views on average and are likely to sell 6 days faster on average than the rest of the year.
The number of buyers jumps dramatically in April, but the number of listings doesn’t peak until a little later, so there is less seller competition.
The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage has fallen more than a quarter of a percentage point in the last week and is nearly a full percentage point lower than the recent peak last November.
Timing is everything, especially in a housing market that has been less than dependable lately. So if you want to get the best price for your home in the shortest amount of time, you’d better list it next week,
"Sales of previously owned homes posted their largest monthly gain since 2015 in February, a sign that lower mortgage rates and more attractive prices are helping to lure buyers back to the market just in time for the critical spring selling season", according to The Wall Street Journal. "The region seeing biggest increase in February home sales was the West, where volume rose 16% from January".
